We stood outside my car and got dressed. The girls just threw short sleeve shirts over their bikinis, but it didn't really help.

I threw on a short sleeve shirt and got in the car. I started driving down a sketchy part of town. The girls looked almost scared at what they saw.

"W-where are we." Sayori said.

"This is what we call a bad part of town. In this part, you're on your own." I said.

"I'm happy I'm with you then." Monika said while she placed her hand on top of mine.

We eventually made it to that gas station. There was a small shop behind it, so I parked the car there.

"Stay here." I said.

For all I know, this could've been a trap, so I didn't want to pull the girls into this situation.

I pulled a suitcase out of my car and walked over to the small shop. I knocked on the door.

I pushed open the door to see Carlos sitting at a small poker table... alone.

"I've been waiting for a chance to meet you." Carlos said while giving me a smirk. A cigar was hanging out of his mouth.

"Like wise." I said.

Carlos invited me to sit, so I took a seat across the poker table from him.

"So what service do you require?" Carlos said while blowing smoke in my face.

"I need 4 complete files of 18 year old girls with everything. Passports, IDs, birth records, education records, everything." I said. I slid over an envelope that had pictures of Monika, Sayori, Yuri, and Natsuki.

"That's quite a task, hopefully you have the money to pay up." He said. "But first I need to see if you're the real deal."

Carlos pointed at my fingers. I pulled out my dog tags out from under my shirt and took my two rings off of the chain. I put on my two rings that displayed the eye of the first Genesis, and the ace of spades, which was my death card.

I put the rings on my fingers and showed them to Carlos.

"So it really is the leader of the NWG. I've heard about your bounty and I must say it does look appetizing." Carlos said.

Carlos pulled out a snub nose .357 magnum and placed it in the table. I don't know what it was, but something really concerned me about this guy.

"Look just tell me your price." I said.

Carlos opened the envelope with the girls pictures. He scanned them up and down and then looked at me.

"2 million and a night with the purple one." Carlos said while pointing at the picture of Yuri.

"She's not for sale." I said in an annoyed voice.

Carlos wiped the smile off of his face.

"Fine, 4 million and the pink one." Carlos said while pointing at Natsuki.

"The girls aren't for sale, how about 6 million?" I said. I really didn't want to spend that much money, but I'd rather do that than leave the girls with this creep.

Carlos leaned back in his chair and laughed to himself.

"Khalil said that you were always a persistent type. Alright, you've got yourself a deal." I placed the suitcase on the table and Carlos opened it, revealing all the money inside.

Carlos got up and walked into a back room. I observed the .357 magnum that he left on the table. It had beautiful engravings up and down the barrel of it. The engravings had pieces of gold in it.

Carlos walked back in the room and dropped 4 files on the table. He slid them over to me and I inspected them. Everything was in order.

Carlos reached his hand out to me to shake his hand, but I refused. I began to walk out until I heard Carlos say something.

"Eh, that broad with the rope marks was ugly anyway." he said.

I turned around and faced Carlos.

"What did you just say?" I said.

"The broad with the bow in her hair. That rope mark around her neck makes her look like a hooker."

I walked back over to Carlos and hit him as hard as I could in the face. He fell out of his chair and was holding his cheek. I hit him so hard that my ace of spades ring was indented in his cheek.

"You ever say anything like that again and I swear, you'll end up like Cosgrove!" I yelled.

Carlos looked up at me.

"I'll remember you..." he said before he passed out.

I grabbed the gun from off the table and left his shop.

I got back in the car and put the files on the console.

"What are those?" Natsuki said.

"These are your guys new identities. That way you guys can finish your school year.

Monika looked over at me with excitement in her eyes. She leaned over to me and kissed me on the cheek.

"I'm so excited! When do we start?" Monika said.

"Tomorrow." I said. "So we might want to head back to my house now."

I began driving back to Ohio, which took about 4 hours. Natsuki and Sayori both fell asleep on Yuri's shoulders, and Yuri was also asleep. Monika was just staring out the window while it rained on the window.

By the time I got home it was about 10:00. I woke all of the girls up and we walked back into my house.

"Home sweet home." Monika said while we walked through the door.

"Nothing like it." I said.

"I'm hungry..." Sayori said.

"You're always hungry." Natsuki said.

"Hey, why don't we have ice cream? I think I had some left." I said.

Natsuki and Sayori looked at me excited.

"That sounds... nice." Yuri said.

I opened my freezer and pulled out gallons of ice cream. Sayori put like 5 different ice creams in a bowl and covered it in fudge. Natsuki got strawberry ice cream because she liked the pink color. Yuri liked chocolate because she liked the rich taste, and Monika got coffee flavored ice cream with a cherry on top.

Yuri, Natsuki, and Sayori went into my living room and started watching a movie. I stayed in the kitchen and ate ice cream with Monika. She stood next to me and picked the cherry off of her ice cream.

"Have you ever tried a cherry kiss?" she said.

"A cherry what?" I said.

Monika smiled at me.

"Here I'll show you." she said.

She put the cherry stem in my mouth and I grabbed it with my teeth.

"Now hold the cherry." she said.

She then leaned in and took a bite of the cherry, touching my lips with hers very softly.

She backed away and smiled at me while chewing the cherry.

I took the stem out of my mouth and smiled at her.

"You think that you could show me again?" I said.

Monika giggled and looked down at her ice cream. She scooped a little bit of ice cream out of her bowl and put it towards me face.

"You need to try this, it's super good." She said. I took a bite of the ice cream, and it wasn't half bad.

Me and Monika just smiled at each other until Natsuki came over to me.

"Hey, can me and you make cupcakes tomorrow?" she said.

"I'm down for cupcakes." Monika said.

"Yeah sure, I'll take you grocery shopping tomorrow, I need to get more food anyway." I said while patting Natsuki's head. She looked up at me embarrassed.

I yawned and stretched my arms out.

"Well I think it's about time for me to hit the hay." I said.
